List of applicants for the position of head coach (men's cricket team) will be further pruned for the interviews on Monday (July 10).

Then reports emerged on the eve of big day that the BCCI is unlikely to go for the traditional interview process, in the hope to avoid last year's unfortunate incident which saw Ganguly himself involving in an ugly public spat with one of the contenders and former Team Director Ravi Shastri. It is also learnt that discarding the process has been a topic of discussion within the board members lately.

According to PTI, the interview with those six candidates was slated to happen on Sunday, but a source told the Times of India that the applicants who had been ready with their presentations had not heard from BCCI till Saturday evening.

Shastri would appear to be the front-runner, given that he had already enjoyed an 18-month stint as the director from August 2014 to March 2016, and was widely expected to take over as head coach past year until Kumble entered the fray.

India are presently in West Indies without a head coach, for a short limited-overs' series involving five ODIs and a lone T20I matches.
